M18x makes its arrival

As stated earlier, alienware was set to release its m18x, and it finally hit the store in the last few days. As stated in the previous article, I gave a list of possible specs that had been leaked on the net a few weeks ago. Now that it is up, here is a list of what will be the approx. specs and cost of a very high end version of the system, with only a few different softwares pre-installed, no virus protection in this set-up, but 4-year warranty, and office installed.

PROCESSOR	Intel® Core™ i7 2920XM Overclocked Turbo Boost to 4.0GHz (8MB Cache) This is a factory over-clocked i7 as it says, that runs at 4.0, but i'm sure that if this case is good enough with a good enough fan, you can easily push it to around 4.3 or 4.5 without it like setting fire to your favorite pair of pants
OPERATING SYSTEM	Genuine Windows® 7 Ultimate, 64bit Pretty standard with this, just ultimate so that you get the added ram support, with standard you only get 16GB ram support
MEMORY	32GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz (4DIMMS) Ok, this is insane, no matter what you are running, you will never absolutely need this much ram, speaking that some of the most intense games only really max at like 6GB, meaning you could have like 5 of them open no prob
VIDEO CARD	Dual 1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460M – NVIDIA® SLI® Enabled This is basically the graphics cards you would get if you were a high-end desktop PC gamer, and seeing them in a laptop almost made my heart stop, these cards are literally the best of the best, and you will be able to play everything with ease, with its 5+ billion p/s fill rate on each card
HARD DRIVE	1TB RAID 0 (2x 500GB) 7200RPM Solid State Hybrid This is different than most RAID configurations as stated in the Hybrid in its name. It is in fact what is now being called the RAID 10 or RAID 01, in which it gives the speed of  RAID 0 and the data protection of RAID 1.
WIRELESS + BLUETOOTH	Intel® Advanced-N 6200 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO Technology and Bluetooth 3.0 This card isn't completely necessary if you use an ethernet cable, but if not, its worth spending the little extra to get it, because the smaller your ping rate, the faster and better your gaming experience
WIRELESSHD	Internal 60GHz WirelessHD Transmitter and VIZIO XWH200 Universal Wireless HD Video and Audio Kit This is something relatively new, these cards allow you to remotely connect to any HD projector or TV without having to use an HDMI cable
INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE	Slot-Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-RW, CD-RW) with Roxio Creator 2011 Explains itself
SOUND OPTIONS	Internal High-Definition 5.1 Performance Audio with SoundBlaster MB Software While not absolutely necessary to have a super mega nice sound card in a gaming laptop, its always nice to be able to immerse yourself in the game better, and having a nice stereophonic grade sound card is a nice way to be able to do it
